Frequently asked questions
Can I use Bakuchiol and Hyaluronic Acid together?
Yes, it is safe. There is no known chemical conflict between Bakuchiol and Hyaluronic Acid, and neither makes the other less effective.
Which goes first, Bakuchiol or Hyaluronic Acid?
Apply Hyaluronic Acid first, then Bakuchiol. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Bakuchiol in the morning or at night?
Bakuchiol: works morning or night. Use twice daily. It is stable in sunlight, so a morning application is fine.
Should I use Hyaluronic Acid in the morning or at night?
Hyaluronic Acid: works morning or night. Apply on slightly damp skin and seal with a moisturiser. In very dry air, skipping the seal can leave skin tighter.
Is Bakuchiol with Hyaluronic Acid safe during pregnancy?
Neither is a known risk in normal cosmetic amounts, but guidance varies for Bakuchiol. Check with your doctor.
